Ruddy Turnstone | Steinwälzer | Arenaria interpres - Wilhelmshaven, February 2021

The City of Wilhelmshaven inhabits one of the most important wintering sites for the Ruddy Turnstone in Lower Saxony. That is not a surprise as most of Wilhelmshaven´s coastline is completely concreted - a habitat the Turnstone likes, but does not look very nice and natural!
